The state forfeiture law makes any boat, airplane or certain heavy vehicles used to unlawfully transport a controlled substance for sale, subject to forfeiture. Additionally, monies, negotiable instruments, securities, real property, and other things of value can be seized for designated violations.
The state forfeiture law is contained in Health and Safety Code sections 11470 thru 11490. The responsibility for making the final decision to file or not file state forfeiture actions is vested with the District Attorney.
